In this week’s New Yorker, investigative reporter Seymour Hersh writes that there has been “a significant increase in the tempo of attack planning” for war with Iran inside the Bush administration. Hersh reported that the administration has shifted focus “from a broad bombing attack against Iran’s nuclear facilities to “surgical” strikes again Revolutionary Guard Corps facilities in Tehran and elsewhere.”
Today, in an interview with journalist Jon Wiener, Hersh suggested that “the president is essentially messianic” about regime change in Iran.
He sees this as his mission. It could be because God is telling him to do it. It could be because his daddy didn’t do it. It could be because it’s step 13 in a 12-step program he was in. I just don’t know.”
Hersh may be on to something. In 2005, the Guardian reported that “Bush has claimed he was on a mission from God when he launched the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq, according to a senior Palestinian politician.” According to the Palestinian source Bush said:
‘I am driven with a mission from God’. God would tell me, ‘George go and fight these terrorists in Afghanistan’. And I did. And then God would tell me ‘George, go and end the tyranny in Iraq’. And I did. And now, again, I feel God’s words coming to me, ‘Go get the Palestinians their state and get the Israelis their security, and get peace in the Middle East’. And, by God, I’m gonna do it.

Let’s face it: G.Bush Jr became president through a nazi plot. 9/11 was arranged to be able to stay in power. That the conspirators now have the power of weapons, propaganda and the judifical system. That they’ll do anything to stay in power. Our power is in: democracy,unity and UN. The world war was declared by G.Bush Jr in 2001.
But we don’t have to either join or accept it.
We have to stop these people.Fast and thoroughly.
